Against All Odds

Chapter 59

Aliyah P.O.V.

"Morning daddy, morning AJ." I took my seat at the table, scooting my chair in. "Morning babygirl."

"Where's mama?" AJ asked, leaning back in his seat. "She's coming down in a minute."

He nodded. "Ight good, cause Im hungry."

"Well make you a bowl of cereal, cause she ain't make breakfast." I chuckled, shaking my head at the two of them. "Why not? She cooks breakfast all the time, especially on Saturdays."

"Yeah, but she's sleeping in today, her doctor told her she needs more rest."

AJ frowned. "More rest? Did something happen?"

I looked over at daddy, waiting for him to speak. "Uh, I took her to the doctor yesterday because she was having some pain, but she's fine, the doctor said she's gon be alright, but he suggested that she rest some more."

"Damn." AJ mumbled. "You sure she's good?" He nodded. "Yeah, she's fine, I just need everybody to pitch in more around the house, cause you know how she likes to do everything."

"Ight."

I paused for a second before nodding. "...Okay."

"Goodmorning everybody." I looked up over at the doorway, once I heard mama's voice.

"Mornin sexy." Daddy said, pulling mama towards him. "Mornin mama." AJ gave her a head nod, getting up from his seat.

"Morning."

She leaned up agaisnt daddy, as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her. "So what are you two plans for today?

I looked over at AJ, before looking back at mama. "Nothing....we're not allowed to go anywhere...remember?"

Mama chuckled. "Right, we'll Im gunna try and put the baby's crib together later, since Im not working today."

"Nah you ain't." Daddy started, frowning. "You needa go sit down and relax, your suppose to be restin."

"I did rest."

"Me and Li-Li can put the crib together for you mama, you don't gotta do that."

I quickly turned my head, looking over at AJ, confused as to why he would volunteer me for that.

"Yeah, they ain't got nothing else to do." Daddy said, resting his head in the crook of her neck.

"Yeah and ion mind, you needa rest, so we got it, right Li?" He looked over at me, hoping I would co-sign for him.

".....Uh....yeah, sure." Mama smiled.

"Alright, thank you guys, Im going back upstairs then." She stepped out of daddy's grasp, kissing him on the cheek before leaving the kitchen.

Marcus P.O.V.

"It's hot as fuck out here, how long we stayin?" I dropped my bag on the bench, getting ready for my first practice.

"Didn't you volunteer to bring yo ass out here? Now you complainin that it's hot." Will laughed, shaking his head.

"I did, but I didn't know it was hot as Meeka's breath out here, by the time I leave ima be bout as dark as Will's ass."

I shook my head. "You stay crackin on that girl, but you can leave if you want, I ain't tryna hear you bitch all day."

Chris sucked his teeth. "I ain't bitchin."

"Im not stayin for the whole thing, Ima slide to Brittany's house in a hour." Chris frowned. "But your my ride, how ima get home?"

He shrugged. "Ion know, Marcus will take you, all I know is, Im leaving, B's parents outta town for the weekend, so you know what that means." He smirked, rubbing his hands together.
